More comfort during long mowing jobs

The STIHL FS 261 C-E petrol brushcutter supports professionals in large scale landscape maintenance, horticulture, and agriculture mowing tasks. The large mowing circle diameter of 300mm is ideal for large, complex mowing jobs.

Carry out onerous work efficiently, and with less energy with the ergonomic two-hand grip. An added benefit is the one-hand multifunction handle which lets you control the engine with just one hand.

The extremely light and comfortable fully adjustable double harness, supplied as standard provides additional support, especially for longer periods of use, and evenly distributes the weight over your body.

  • SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
    All the engine controls are at your fingertips, allowing easy and safe operation.
  • ERGONOMIC BIKE HANDLE
    EFFORTLESS MOWING OF LARGE AREAS. The ergonomic bike handle helps you mow large areas quickly and effortlessly, as this handle supports a natural brushcutter movement. The bike handle is easy to adjust and secure.
  • STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
    Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
  • TOOL-FREE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
    SET THE BIKE HANDLE POSITION. You can individually adjust the ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) using the central clamping device. Thanks to the tool-free handle adjustment, you do not need any tools for this. The bike handle can be rotated 90 degrees for transport and space-saving storage.
  • STIHL 2-MIX Engine
    The STIHL 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. Separating the exhaust emissions from the unburnt gas minimises scavenging losses, and therefore increases the power output while reducing consumption.<br /><br />The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20% of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70% compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.
  • STIHL Easy2start
    EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL Easy2start saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
  • LONG AIR FILTER SERVICE LIFE
    ENSURES LONG CHANGEOVER INTERVALS. Thanks to its long service life, you rarely need to change the easily accessible filter. This saves resources and reduces maintenance effort.
  • MANUAL FUEL PUMP
    A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
  • COMPENSATOR
    REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.
